Brood of Gods Slot Review

Brood of Gods Slot Overview

Brood of Gods is a new casino slot from Light & Wonder where three Māori gods can help you make good money. Papa, Rangi, and Whiro are not as well-known as Greek and Egyptian gods in the slot world, but you will soon be happy that you get to know them. Māori are indigenous Polynesian people of New Zealand, or Aotearoa, as the country is called in their language. Papa and Rangi form the first couple to appear in the Māori creation myth, while Whiro is the lord of darkness who inhabits the underworld.

Although Whiro is full of evil, he can also help you in this game by selecting a random symbol that will stay on the grid while all other symbols disappear in a cascade. The game awards wins whenever you land at least 3 symbols of the same type next to each other horizontally or vertically. You will also be awarded a Wild Symbol every time you make a win of 3 or 5 symbols, increasing your chances of scoring another win on the same spin. There’s also a free spins feature where the player gets to pick which god to play with.

Brood of Gods is a video slot from Light & Wonder with 5 reels and 5 rows, where wins are made by landing 3 or more adjacent symbols vertically or horizontally. The Min.bet is 0.1, and the Max.bet is 20. The default RTP is 95.99%, but there’s also another version with an RTP of 94%. The volatility is mid/high, and the max win is set to 1789X the bet.

When you’re getting to know the Māori Gods, have a lookout for the features Wild Symbol, Multiplier Coin, Modifier Gods, Cleared Reels, Free Spins, and Bonus Buy.

Brood of Gods Slot Information

Brood of Gods has different environments depending on what god you’re playing with. From the start, you’re in a green mystic forest with the female goddess Papa. She’s soaring to the right of the grid and can use her special modifier on any non-winning spin. Whenever she does, the setting changes to the heavens and Rangi takes her position, and after Rangi comes the evil Whiro.

There are two tables to the left of the reels. In the upper one are multiplier symbols collected, and the one below displays your winnings for the present spin. You make a win by landing 3 or more symbols of the same type adjacent on either a row or reel. If your win consists of 3 or 5 symbols, a Wild Symbol will be created in the middle position. Winning symbols disappear, and the ones above fall down to land on the next symbol or the grid’s bottom if no more symbols are available on that reel. You can make consecutive wins on the same spin, but no symbols are added to the reels until your spin is over. The game is available on mobile phones, notepads, and desktop computers.

The lower-paying symbols in the land of gods are four different Māori symbols in brown, purple, blue, and green. They will give you between 2X and 3X the bet for a win containing 5 symbols. The higher-paying symbols are the gods Papa, Rangi, and Whiro, paying 10X the bet for a 5-of-a-kind win. You can also combine the gods on a payline, which pays 5X the bet for 5 symbols. The Wild Symbol substitutes all symbols except Multiplier Coins, and it’s also the best-paying symbol on its own, awarding up to 50X the bet.

Brood of Gods Slot Features

What is the max win in the slot Brood of Gods?

You can win up to 1789X the bet.

What features are available in the slot Brood of Gods?

The features are Wild Symbol, Multiplier Coin, Modifier Gods, Cleared Reels, Free Spins, and Bonus Buy.

Wild Symbol

The Wild Symbol is a W, substituting all regular paying symbols but not the Multiplier Coin. The Wild Symbol will appear in the middle position of a 3 or 5 symbols winning combination when the winning symbols are removed from the reels. If several wins share the same middle position, only one Wild is awarded.

Multiplier Coin

A Multiplier Coin appears whenever a win containing 4 or 5 symbols is removed from the grid. The coin is collected to the left of the reels. There are Bronze, Silver, and Gold coins with multipliers of 0.1X to 5X, and all coins are multiplied by wins in the base game. Collecting 4 coins on the same spin triggers the free spins. The coin collection is reset whenever a spin is finished.

Modifier Gods

One of the three gods is always active and can trigger its modifier on any non-winning spin. You start playing with Papa, and she is replaced by Rangi after executing her modifier. Whenever Rangi triggers his modifier, he’s replaced by Whiro.

Papa = Puts flowers on a random number of symbols on the grid and transforms them all into the same random symbol.

Rangi = Selects a random 2x2 section on the reels and turns all the section’s symbols into the same random symbol.

Whiro = Selects a random symbol type on the grid which will be held while all other symbols are removed. The selected symbols will fall down before new symbols fill up the reels.

Cleared Reels

Making wins that result in all symbols disappearing from the reels awards an extra 1000X the bet. The award can be achieved in both the base game and free spins.

Free Spins

Before the Free Spins start, you get to choose one of the three gods. Our tip is to go for Rangi since he’s the one that will give you the maximum RTP. The gods stay active during the entire feature and trigger their modifier on every non-winning spin. When the free spins are over, the god will go back to the last shown in the base game.

You activate 5 free spins by collecting 4 or more Multiplier Coins on a base game spin. Collecting 4 symbols in the feature awards an extra spin, and you can win a maximum of 10 spins.

You start the feature with a 1X multiplier that’s added above the collection meter. It is added to any Multiplier Coin collected during the free spins, but it’s not counted towards winning additional spins. The Bronze, Silver, and Gold Multiplier Coins are worth 1X, 2X, and 3X in the free spins. The coins don’t have any monetary value, but each win is multiplied by the total Multiplier Coin value.

Bonus Buy

You can purchase the free spins for 50X the bet. The average win for the free spins is 49.55X the bet.

Brood of Gods Slot Conclusion

Meeting the Māori gods feels refreshing after spending so much time with Greek, Egyptian, and Nordic ones in games such as Age of the Gods Norse: Gods and Giants, Greek Gods, and Powers of Gods Egypt. Most players have probably never even heard of Papa, Rangi, and Whiro, who all do their best to help you towards riches.

Each god has their own modifier, which can be triggered randomly on any non-winning spin in the base game. The free spins are even better when your selected god triggers its modifier on every non-winning spin. You can also make several wins on the same spin when winning symbols are removed, and the remaining ones fall down to make new combinations. You also get a Wild on every win containing 3 or 5 symbols. No symbols are added to the reels during a spin, so you can’t make unlimited wins like you theoretically can in games with cascades.

A nice bonus is that you’re awarded 1000X the bet if all 25 symbols are removed from the reels by making wins. That sweet feature can be awarded in both the base game and free spins. We can’t help to think that the game’s max win of 1789X the bet feels a little low for a casino slot with mid/high volatility.

Brood of Gods from Light & Wonder introduces three Māori gods in a game that awards wins for any combination of 3 adjacent symbols anywhere on the reels.
